I want to ask those brilliant minds out there (you know who you are) about the California safe harbor to file as non-resident (TC Sec 17014).

My client has been absent from CA (living in the UK) for several years, since 2006. His domestic partner had a contract to work there, so he moved with his partner. In mid-2008 he started a job with a British company and he will be working there at least until the end of 2009, if not more.

My question is, can he file as a CA non-resident claiming the safe harbor? He has been working in the UK all this time, but as self-employed. Does this also count toward the 546 days?

…and he has CA ties, since he has a rental property, and is planning on returning at some point next year.

Thank you!
